We present a method for patterning a buried two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in silicon. The buried 2DEG forms from placing an ultra sharp and dense profile of phosphorus dopants beneath the silicon surface; a so-called Si:P δ-layer. The composition and structure of these Si:P δ-layers have been studied down to the atomic limit by secondary ion mass spectrometry and scanning tunnelling microscopy. Both angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and theoretical calculations have shown that these Si:P δ-layers host a 2DEG with properties desirable for atomic scale quantum electronic devices. Here, we provide a new method for patterning such buried 2DEGs using low kinetic energy electron beam lithography. Using a combination of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, we demonstrate the formation of patterned features with dopant concentrations sufficient to create 2DEG states.
